Visiting Ranger Station Supply’s workshop in Germantown’s warehouse district in Nashville was an eye- and nose-opening experience. Founder Steve Soderholm says, “Your sense of smell has a way of triggering memories,” and boy, is he right.
But memory is just the beginning; his candles are hand-poured into bourbon glasses, meaning that good times are also inevitably ahead.

Hopefully the video below helps. It’s part of our Masters of their Craft series, presented in partnership with Woodford Reserve. We’ve been investigating heritage-driven artisans and creatives of all stripes; be sure to check out the rest of our coverage.
